I landed in an unplanned periodization.jsirabella said:I know exactly where you are coming from...I just love training. Sitting on the bike or playing with the weights and not feeling I pushed myself seems like a waste of time. This week has been a pain in the a$$ for me as I am finally listening to all the periodization talk and taking off a couple weeks and been putting in more hours at lower watts...2 hours at 160 both days this weekend....boring!
Probably the reason I do not improve so lets see how this works out...love experimenting so lets have fun. Play with the diet and the weight lifting also.

For the last couple of weeks I have had to work longer hours to make up for a deadline that a coworker missed. I missed two nights last week and the two nights that I could get on the trainer I had little left that day and was only able to muster up lower L3 efforts.
For me I have to replace your word "boring" and use "frustrating" for my situation.
All of my weight training sessions went well last week since I do a double split and train with weights at 5 AM before going in to work, but the bike training in the evening has dropped.
My next planned break is the week of Christmas.
